Just recently I had been wondering if there was much point in doing little acts of kindness. So often they get 36 , and occasionally they come back to bite you!
Then, just last week, after a long travel, I found myself 37 at a bus station. The bus was four hours late! So, I guess I wasn’t in a good 38 .
That’s when a woman asked me if I had any spare 39 to help her get a bus ticket.
“Oh, sure,” I said sarcastically (挖苦地). “How much would you like?”
As I spoke, I mentally kicked myself for my 40 and reached into my bag for some money. As I handed her five dollars, I heard low sounds from her stomach because of real 41 .
I reached back into my bag and brought out a 42 I had bought earlier. I handed it to her with a(n) 43 that I hoped would make up for my earlier tone of voice. Getting a 44 look at her now, I realized she was extremely tired, like she had had several months of 45 days!
As she took the food, a look of 46 washed over her. In return, she tried to give me a Milwaukee bus ticket! I don’t live in Milwaukee and the ticket will probably 47 be used, but I took it.
A few minutes later she came back over, apologized, and told me she was still 48 of five dollars. I took some singles out of my bag and slipped a twenty in there as well. 49 , the voice in my head told me I was being a fool.
Five minutes later she came back again and tried to 50 my twenty. When I said it was for her so she could get something else to 51 , and that I was completely serious and I wasn’t taking it 52 , she started crying and hugged me.
From now on, when I wonder if it is 53 trying to help someone, I will remember that woman. Maybe I am really making a 54 for someone. So, sure, sometimes my efforts might not be noticed, and sometimes they might come back to bite me, but they might actually 55 another human being!

The story goes that some time ago, a man punished his 3-year-old daughter for wasting a roll of gold wrapping paper. Money was tight and he became infuriated(愤怒的) when the child tried to decorate a box to put under the Christmas tree. Nevertheless, the little girl brought the gift to her father the next morning and said, "This is for you, Daddy."
The man was embarrassed by his earlier overreaction, but his anger flared again when he found out the box was empty. He yelled at her, stating, "Don't you know, when you give someone a present, there is supposed to be something inside? The little girl looked up at him with tears in her eyes and cried, "Oh, Daddy, it's not empty at all. I blew kisses into the box. They're all for you, Daddy."
The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little girl, and he begged for her forgiveness.
Only a short time later, an accident took the life of the child. It is also told that her father kept that gold box by his bed for many years and, whenever he was discouraged, he would take out an imaginary kiss and remember the love of the child who had put it there.

The repairman told me, “No charge Professor Pan! We’re friends.” “I’d rather pay,” I replied.“If it’s free, I can’t afford it!”
Chinese often refuse payment for professional services, insisting, "We’re friends now!" But then they show up later to ask me to tutor them in English, or get them into an American university, and I wish I’d have just paid the 30 yuan I owed them in the first place!
According to the Americans, "There’s no free lunch," meaning that there’s a price for everything, and I’m always looking around to figure out what this means.Many of our neighbours have given us fruit or flowers or costly teas, never asking anything in return.For years, a bicycle repairman has repeatedly refused to let me pay him."Wait until you have something major to fix! "he insists.
I mentioned to a peasant friend that I wished I had a stone mill to grind(磨)flour for bread.A month later he showed up with a beautiful mill that he’d had his uncle in the countryside carve from a solid block of granite(花岗石).
Chinese generosity(慷慨)is a real education for Americans like me, who would rather avoid social entanglements (纠纷) and just hand over the money.But cash can’t compensate(补偿)for the greatest gift--friendship.
When an American saw some of my friends sitting on bamboo stools under the trees, sipping(呷)tea, he said, "They must have nothing better to do.""Actually, "I said, "they are professors, with plenty to do.But probably you’re right in saying that, at this moment, they have nothing better to do.And neither do I!" And I joined the group.We chatted about tea and Chinese cooking and how much my boys have grown since we arrived.One man said, "They were pocket-sized when you came here.Now
they’re taller than you.How time flies!"
How life flies.And Chinese are smart enough to share what they know they cannot keep.They freely give of their time, never too busy to help a friend.And they are teaching me, slowly, to both give and receive.So the next time someone says, "No charge.We’re friends! " I will thank them heartily.But if they show up later asking me to tutor them in English, I’ll make sure they tutor my son in Chinese as well, because there’s still no free lunch.
64.The author insisted on paying repairman while he was offered free repairs because he .
A.was an honest man
B.didn’t know the repairman
C.thought it natural to pay for others’ service

65.Generally, the author thinks that Chinese are _________.
A.generous and always ready to help their friends
B.good at exchange of equal values
C.free enough to drink tea and chat with their friends
D.helpful but don’t treasure time
66.The best title of the passage should be “ ”.
A.Learn to Both Give And Receive B.A Good Lesson from Chinese
C.True Help or Not D.Still No Free Lunch
67.Which of the following is TRUE?
A.The Chinese would rather not take the money to avoid problems in social communication.
B.When a peasant knew the author needed a mill, he made one for the author himself.
C.The author thinks that Chinese are wise enough to enjoy the limited life.
